I want to download content from the net - in chunks of x bytes or characters at a time - so that it doesnt pull the entire content in one shot.
This isn't exactly how things work. The server *sends* you bytes. It can send you a lot at once. To some extent you can control how much it sends before it waits for you to catch up, but you don't have anywhere near byte-level control (you might have something like 32kb or 64kb level control). If you try downloading a large enough file and increasing the numbers in your example, then you can probably see the behavior you were expecting.
